Chapter 2449 Give a big gift
??If you observe carefully, most of the gentry children who surround Zhou Quan and will be influenced by Zhou Quan and others are from Shandong who came to participate in the Qinglong Temple Forum.
The Sanfu of Guanzhong and the gentry children in the Hedong area are actually quite accustomed to examinations. After all, Fei Qian was laying the groundwork when he came from Morishan Academy. Many students in the academy also went from the academy examination to the official examination, so the examination seemed to be no big obstacle for them.
But for the children of Shandong gentry, the exam has a different meaning.
Because these guys didn''t need to take exams before. The only "examination" is to "test" these people''s family background, financial resources, and manpower. As for personal abilities, as long as they make some preparations in advance and come up with one or two articles, I don''t know what they are. It’s not just writing articles, poems, etc., and then performing them vigorously, that’s it.
The exam, for these people, is simply a bolt from the blue!
These people who are complaining, lamenting, and complaining about the new changes and new measures of Sanfu in Guanzhong in Qinglong Temple do not know that the land under their feet is very different from the original history, and they are still here Having sweet dreams and not wanting to wake up.
?Historically, the three auxiliaries in Guanzhong once again became a buffer zone, shouldering heavy military and labor duties, while Yuzhou and Jizhou continued to **** blood like vampires on the Han Dynasty, and then parasitized into the Jin Dynasty.
?Now Guanzhong Sanfu has become the leader...
It takes a lot of courage to break the old framework.
It seems that walking along the previous track will save a lot of effort. This is the reason why the Tang Dynasty in history still formed a huge group of Guanlong families after knowing the various shortcomings of the gentry family, and then tried to use the Guanlong family to suppress them. The Shandong gentry, until Wu Zetian, a ruthless bitch, came to power.
??This is the case for these Shandong gentry disciples in Qinglong Temple. When they face new changes, they are very uncomfortable, just like being in a warm bed in the early morning and having the quilt thrown off them all at once.
?This kind of taste makes these guys very uncomfortable.
In the inspection and promotion system, one is to inspect and the other is to promote. You must first be inspected before you can be promoted.
In order to be "observed" by local and central officials, these local surnames and powerful gentry will launch a series of propaganda against some of the families who have relatively outstanding performance or relatively good appearance, until a group of fools Surrounding the packaged young scholars, every time they appeared, they crowded crazily on the street, shouting strange words such as "little brother" or "birth monkey", and then threw all kinds of Melon and fruit sachet…
??If you can avoid being smashed to death, then it is almost done.
As for talent, of course there is a little bit, but perhaps it is limited to what is shown.
So much so that when the Hussars General almost abandoned the examination system and used examinations to select talents, these originally glamorous scholars suddenly became uncomfortable. Especially when I discovered that General Cao Cao also had this tendency, it was simply terrifying! These young nobles with tender skin and smooth flesh spend a considerable amount of time taking care of their fur every day. How can they possibly swim in the ocean of knowledge?
Once faced with the exam, many people reveal their secrets.
Especially these Shandong nobles, when they went to Guanzhong in person, they found that the customs in the land of Guanzhong Sanfu were completely different from the customs of the Shandong nobles. It seemed that they would acquiesce in the exam and then continue it to become a routine. !
??If this really becomes a common practice, or even a common practice among the Han people, then wouldn’t it be...
?This made the Shandong gentry children even more frightened and uneasy, so that they had some different emotions.
In Sanfu, Guanzhong, the situation in which the "shi" was superior was broken. Being an official was not only the authority of the "shi", nor was it monopolized by the "shi". Learning was no longer the exclusive preserve of a few people. As long as they were willing to learn, even farmers could All children can learn the words of sages and ancient scriptures.
??Coupled with the wealth of Sanfu in Guanzhong, it can be said to be the most prosperous city among the Han Dynasties at present. The agricultural, commercial and handicraft industries are booming, making these gentry children find that they cannot keep up...
What should I do if I can’t keep up?
Some people feel that they can''t keep up, so they should speed up their pace and try their best to catch up. Others feel that others are running too fast, so they should catch the fast runner and give him a stumbling block, so that they can become the first. One person.
Therefore, the public opinion that the examination was unfair and inferior to the examination system was strongly praised by the children of the Shandong gentry in Qinglong Temple. Of course, it was also secretly supported by some of the exam losers among the Guanzhong gentry.
?These scholars who failed in the examination room denounced the "old-fashioned and restricted" examination methods. What can an examination mean? Then he gritted his teeth and expressed that if exams become popular, there will only be some nerds who can only take exams in the future, which is not beneficial to the country and harmful to the country!
Therefore, although he was defeated once by Mi Heng, after a few days, with the intentional or unintentional cooperation between the two parties, and Zhou Quan using Lu Yu''s name to encourage him, he watched the east side swim in Mi Heng''s absence. After walking for a while, I connected a few sentences in the west, and it really started a burst of discussion...
Exams are equivalent to being a nerd, and exams are equivalent to having no quality. The big man is pursuing high-quality talents and needs quality education, but can rigid examinations achieve this?
?Specious theories began to spread.
At the same time, these people also began to make up some examples to prove their concepts. Some people or things without specific names were cited by them as examples, just like the children in the youth summer camp who cannot peel egg shells in future generations. He explained that those who passed the exam were all incompetent people who were industrious and industrious, and then questioned loudly and loudly, saying that these people were allowed to hold official positions just based on the exam and not as people with rich life experience. Is it really good?
But if they really want to ask them to name a specific person or something specific, they will talk about it. They really can''t avoid it, so they will give a reason why the relevant people are not allowed to talk about it to show that they are not allowed to talk about it. We are also victims, so why force each other?
What is the actual purpose of these people’s opposition to the exam?
The exam made their original human relationships and social status completely useless!
?Can this kind of exam, which forces them to lose part of their advantages, be a good exam for these people? There are no bonus points. This is simply outright discrimination and a cruel injustice!
Zhou Quan''s deliberate encouragement, based on what Lu Zhi''s son Lu Yu had said before, was similar to, or was biased towards, the Mohist theory of "Great Harmony", he seized on one or two points to expand, and vigorously criticized the shortcomings of the examination. Said that the exam is simply a distortion of human nature and a loss of morality...
??Then he stirred up the antagonism between the Shandong gentry and the Shanxi gentry...
??Anyway, Zhou Quan can''t defeat Mi Heng, that is, he doesn''t line up with Mi Heng at all and moves upstream, middle and downstream...
? And Mi Heng has some of his own work at Qinglong Temple to do, and it is impossible to follow Zhou Quan every day, blocking him from going to the wild or something...
In addition, more Shandong nobles came to participate in the Qinglong Temple lecture this time than usual, which made the theory instigated by Zhou Quan invisible. There is a lot of market, and these Shandong nobles are also afraid of Cao Cao. The comprehensive implementation of the examination system in Shandong caused them to lose the family advantages they had accumulated and had to face the same examination together with children from poor families and even lowly peasant students.
In addition, the Langya Wang family who had previously "lyed on the ice to seek carp" had finally cultivated a gimmick. The mysterious Wang Xiang was stripped of his shiny coat during the examination held in Yecheng, revealing his naked body. Their original nature of being timid and afraid of death, and not even daring to actually go to "Lying on the Ice", made some of these Shandong gentry children feel sad, thinking that their delicate bodies would have to compete with those vulgar people. , what if you were injured, had a small cut, and shed three or four drops of blood, wouldn''t it be painful?
Whatever test to take, it’s best not to take any test in this life!
…ヽ(；Д｀)…
?While the noble disciples at Qinglong Temple were getting more and more excited, Fei Qian was arranging another thing.
Fei Qian, who is deeply influenced by the marketing strategies of later generations, certainly knows what is hidden under free things.
When Fei Qian learned that the wave of people from Jiangdong was indeed eyeing the new warships in Xuanwu Pond, he was faced with two choices. One was to find, capture, and kill these people, just like he did at Tongguan. That way. As for these people, Kan Ze has already found some of them by following the exposed traces, and he can arrest them at any time if he wants.
And what’s another option…
Instead, he simply gave the "new warship" to Sun Quan.
In the short term, Feiqian will not sail to the sea, and there is no need to organize a large navy. After all, most of Feiqian''s territory is on the ground, and it is the main combat force based on cavalry.
??The navy''s expenses, daily upkeep and maintenance, are actually no less than the maintenance costs of the cavalry''s horses. Of course, there is nothing wrong with a small fleet, but if you want to build a large fleet that can compare head-on with the Jiangdong Navy, it will not be possible in a year or two.
?Hence, Ma Jun''s warship development is more like a technical reserve, and does not have the ability to be directly transformed into actual war power at this stage.
In addition, Jiangdong is currently the weaker party among the Han Dynasty. If it adds some strength to Sun Quan''s navy, it will naturally make Sun Quan more powerful in the confrontation with Cao Cao.
An enemy of an enemy is, to a certain extent, a friendly force. What''s more, Feiqian is currently thinking about expanding steel production and accelerating the process of industrialization again. Since China passed the Bronze Age, of course it has entered the Black Iron Age. Who can climb higher in the technology of Black Iron? Of course It has even more advantages, and the wooden warship currently developed by Xuanwuchi...
?Perhaps in the eyes of current people, the Han Dynasty is already very advanced, but Fei Qian knows that, let alone iron-clad ships, building a skin-covered iron ship can make these wooden ships look like Sun Tzu.
So, Kan Ze finally found Ma Jun with a larger wooden box and some doubts.
Xuanwu Pond was temporarily suspended, so Ma Jun naturally did not stay in Xuanwu Pond, but in his own courtyard in Chang''an, taking a rare annual leave...
As soon as you enter Ma Jun’s yard, you can feel the atmosphere of a craftsman. There are no plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums in the yard that literati like, but there are a lot of wood, stone, soil and other items, as well as some large and small tools, piled up in various places...
?Ma Jun''s entourage will tidy up, but as long as Ma Jun stays at home for a long time, he will immediately return to his original state.
??Kan Ze looked around and saw the soldiers on duty around Ma Jun''s courtyard, and felt a little relieved.
The village where Ma Jun lived was not a big area in the northwest of Chang''an. Except for a few courtyards owned by some noble families in Chang''an, most of the rest were products under the name of Hussar, just like The small courtyard where Ma Jun lives is also one of them.
Because Ma Jun is considered a relatively high-level research talent, his treatment is much better than that of ordinary craftsmen. Kan Ze was also worried about what harm Ma Jun would suffer during this operation, so he hired Qiusi in advance. The soldiers escorted Ma Jun back to Chang''an first.
In this village, because most of the residents are relatively important people like Ma Jun and some officials directly under the jurisdiction of the Hussar Mansion, it can basically be said to be the dormitory area for senior officials in the court of the General Hussar Mansion. There are specialized soldiers responsible for patrolling the streets, and there are several sentry towers manned day and night, which is relatively safe.
Seeing Kan Ze stop, Ma Jun didn''t know what was going on. He thought it was because Kan Ze felt that his courtyard was messy and full of debris. He couldn''t help but feel a little embarrassed. He laughed loudly and said, "I like to get something casually when I have nothing to do. And I don’t like the slaves to move around at will, it’s so messy, it’s a joke, it’s a joke…”
"Ah..." Kan Ze smiled and continued to follow Ma Jun inside, "The master craftsman is overly worried... I just suddenly thought of something..."
"oh. Ma Jun nodded, without asking any more questions, and led Kan Ze to sit down in the hall, then asked, "Has Kan Ze ever caught a spy?" 』
??Kan Ze''s expression suddenly became a little embarrassed.
During his last meeting with Ma Jun, Kan Ze made a plan...
At first, the plan went smoothly, but when some people were finally identified, Fei Qian stopped it.
Of course, Kan Ze couldn''t tell Ma Jun about Fei Qian''s follow-up arrangements. He could only vaguely say that he had found some clues and would catch the spy soon.
Ma Jun didn''t really care about the spy. He just wanted to return to the factory as soon as possible to continue his research and experiments. Therefore, when Kan Ze said that the matter was not over yet, his face showed some displeasure. Nai, "I wonder what Kan is doing looking for someone?" 』
??Kan Ze motioned to the guards following him to take out the huge box, and then asked Ma Junping to withdraw his servants. Then he opened the box with his own hands and displayed it in front of Ma Jun.
Inside the wooden box, there is a model of a ship.
‘This…’ Ma Jun’s eyes widened, ‘Why did you take out the model? Wait, this seems like..."
Kanze waved his hand and said, "Master craftsman, please take a closer look." 』
"Oh..." Ma Jun took action, took out the ship model, and looked around, "Oh, it''s different... Well, it''s quite finely made..."
Layers watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.
As soon as he got his hands on the model, Ma Jun moved here and there, and even took it apart with a click, which made Kan Ze’s eyes jump a few times.
To Kan Ze, the large and small components of the model meshed with each other and formed a seamless whole. But to Ma Jun, it was like a jigsaw puzzle that could be taken apart and put back together at any time.
"Well, it''s indeed different. There are some differences here, here, and here..." Ma Jun not only pulled out the mast, but even dismantled the deck. He turned it over and looked at it, seeming to be very interested, "Who Did you do it? Like one of the previous versions...』
‘This…’ Kan Ze couldn’t help but ask, ‘Is there a big difference between this model and the current one? 』
Talking about technical issues, Ma Jun became interested, and his expression towards Kan Ze no longer looked like he just wanted to see off the guests. His eyes still stayed on the model, "Kan is engaged in work. It can be seen that among boats, the biggest What''s the difference? 』
‘Structure? ” Kan Ze said.
"Yes," Ma Jun nodded, "The structures of boats vary in size, and each has its own purpose. There are thousands of variations... They all look like a shell deck. In fact, the keel inside is three-thirds longer, or An extra inch of bend makes a difference..."
Ma Jun pointed to the exposed keel of the ship after lifting the deck and said, "The middle of this keel is too flat, and the head and tail are too curved. It looks good, but in these two bends, it is very difficult. If it is normal, It’s okay to transport, but it’s easy to break if there’s a slight collision…”
"Here, let me show you," Ma Jun said, and showed Kan Ze some keel models that he had cut by himself at home. He explained while gesturing, "The wood is originally straight, but the keels are If you want to bend, you must change the straight length. You must maintain its hardness and flexibility at the same time. If you are not careful, the whole length will be discarded..."
"Look, this is because the heat was too high during the modification, and it cracked..."
And this…』
Ma Jun spoke excitedly, then clicked to the left, pointed to the right, and spat out a large list of various data and professional terms. Kan Ze, who was next to Ma Jun, could only nod his head, not matching at all. Talk.
When Ma Jun stopped talking, Kan Ze concluded in a layman''s tone with some confusion: "So, there is something wrong with this model, right?" 』
"There''s nothing wrong with this..." Ma Jun was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses, nodded with some dignity and said, "Oh, then you want to compare it with that one...compared with our latest development, this one is naturally a bit better. The problem... Let’s put it this way, this boat looks beautiful, but in fact because of the keel, it cannot pick up speed, and it is more afraid of crosswinds..."
When it came to relevant ship knowledge, Ma Jun turned on the explanation mode again, and Jili Gulu began to spit out a lot of nouns such as wind power, water power, flow force, resistance, etc., which made even Kan Ze relatively compare. The smarter ones can''t help but feel a little dizzy...
But Kan Ze grasped the key points!
It turns out that there is something wrong with the model of this ship!
Kan Ze seemed to understand something, exhaled, then nodded to Ma Jun and said, "Ah... yes, what the master craftsman said is that I understand a little bit, and more master craftsmen can give me guidance... um , by the way, I still need the master craftsman to reinstall this model..."
“This is simple,” Ma Jun asked while reinstalling the removed parts quickly, “Kan Zhizhi, what is this model used for?” 』
Kanze smiled slightly and said, "I''m going to give it away..."
『Giving it to someone? 』
"Yes," Kan Ze nodded slightly. He basically understood what Fei Qian meant, and he felt relaxed and happy. He said in a brisk voice, "Send a big gift..."
